I was going to upload a few amusing photos of yours truly, carving a
huge mound of styrofoam (and looking like I'm carving in a blizzard),
but I noticed that Yahoo says we're almost at our limit for picture
storage.

I wonder if our beloved moderators might take a gander at our
pictures, and let us know which ones might need to be re-sized?

Kel -- by relief printing, I mean woodlock printing, linocuts,
collograph (that's inking up a collage for those who don't happen to
have been a big geek like me, and studied art history), and of course
eraser carving. I guess the big difference between these and intaglio
(etching) is that the ink sit on the high spots on a relief block, and
in etching, you wipe the plate, so that the ink stays only in the low
spots.

Since I was holding forth like some kind of stinkin' expert, I decided
to follow my own durn advice, and headed down to the public library.
I have a few new favorites in the world of relief printing.
